Detailed Description

A PrintJob object represents a job that is sent to a printer.

You only need to deal directly with print jobs if you use the non-portable PrintUnixDialog API.

Use get_surface() to obtain the cairo surface onto which the pages must be drawn. Use send() to send the finished job to the printer.If you don't use cairo then PrintJob also supports printing of manually generated postscript, via set_source_file().

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Make the Gtk::PrintJob send an existing document to the printing system.

Parameters:
filenameThe file to be printed.
Returns:
false if an error occurred.
void Gtk::PrintJob::set_track_print_status ( bool  track_status = true)

If track_status is true, the print job will try to continue report on the status of the print job in the printer queues and printer.

This can allow your application to show things like "out of paper" issues, and when the print job actually reaches the printer.

This function is often implemented using some form of polling, so it should not be enabled unless needed.

Since gtkmm 2.10:
Parameters:
track_statustrue to track status after printing.
